Martin Rev - s/t lp (Superior Viaduct Records)

$18.99

"In 1980, shortly after Suicide’s second full-length, Martin Rev released
his first solo album on preeminent No Wave label Infidelity
(Lust/Unlust). Uninhibited by the trappings of a collaborator, Rev was
freed to explore his most experimental and pop leanings with dirty
synths, dark melodies and dreamlike textures, and produced a masterpiece
of modern alienation that captures a uniquely New York landscape. Echoing
other electronic forerunners such as Silver Apples and Kraftwerk, and
foreshadowing the work of Aphex Twin and Air, Rev’s solo outing rests
firmly in the lineage of unnerving sounds from the furthest fringe of
maladjustment." - Superior Viaduct
